..and this brings us to today's posting.
*FYI* The image above was plucked from a blog comment in a public forum regarding the new rules regarding NSFW style picture flagging policy, thus it is not NSFW.
Is this mindset the common point of view? So, people that spend on Fubar are sluts? Or is it a jealousy issue because of the people that spend and play the game better than others? What exactly has prompted this backlash toward high spenders and bling runners? Is this a 99% vs. 1% issue? That's what comments like this look like to me. What's funny is the vast majority of the people that are "oh so offended" by the "Nsfw" variety of defaults really don't do a god damn thing to support the site in general. Anyone else also notice the drastic drop off in ability bling being run? Does anyone else realize this?..
I read that blog by admin referring to it and if you take a look at the variety of commenters, you will note a common quasi theme there, now won't you. Alot of those people are simply hypocrytes. They are here "just for mafia" or "just for mumms" or "just for friends." Here's a hint then : Why do you even feel the need to care about it in the first place? Or even better yet, those commenting have vicously and personally attatcked others for no reason in the past. But hey personal degradation of others in public forums is better than a FuWhore right?..really?
Now reread the comment above: "rest of us who can't afford to spend..", "to me it's a....site where we can meet and make friends."
Think about it. If you're so worried about the "sluts" then would you want the "friends" that they supposedly have?...or is the reality of what's going on more like "they are getting the attention" that people like this want.
I'd bet moreso on the latter.
So think about what and who you are getting in bed with as a vast majority of fubarians go on a witch hunt against the "sluts." This is reality kids. Not everyone is pretty, and no, not everyone can spend like most of the everyday reds and greens do. But now that you have your victory against the "sluts" how long before it shifts to the high spenders and people that play the game better than others,you know the other people that -always- get attention? With this kind of momentum, I'd bet not long.
The goal in these people's minds is for everyone to have a "fair shot." And to maybe "spread the wealth around." Sounds a little Socialist to me.
Let me know how that works out for you.
